Sometimes referred to as Germany's brown ale, altbiers are fermented beers native to the North German area of Dusseldorf, brewed under cooler temperatures than most other ales. They are crisp and clean (more similar to lagers), and typically take on an orange-copper color appearance with a thick head. The beer's backbone is normally moderately malty with an assertive bitter hop profile and a dry finish.
